AMSOIL 20W-50 Motorcycle Oil is the result of extensive research and is specially formulated to excel in all areas unique to motorcycles, including the high temperatures of air-cooled engines such as Harley-Davidson\u00ae V-Twins, wet-clutch lubrication, extreme-pressure regions of gears and chains and rust common to short trips and storage.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">AMSOIL 20W-50 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil one of the leading Amsoil Motorcycle Products, and is multi-functional and fulfills the requirements of both domestic and foreign motorcycles. It outperforms other conventional and synthetic motorcycle oils. AMSOIL, the leader in synthetic lubrication, produced the world\u2019s first API-qualified synthetic motor oil in 1972. Trust the extensive experience of AMSOIL, The First in Synthetics,\u00ae to do the best job protecting your motorcycle.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><strong>Reduces Friction, Heat and Wear<\/strong><br \/>\nIn high heat conditions, engine protection is not sacrificed with AMSOIL <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amsoil.com\/a\/synthetic-motorcycle-oil\">Synthetic Motorcycle Oil<\/a>. It has exceptional high-temperature film strength and contains a heavy treatment of anti-wear additives to reduce wear regardless of operating conditions. AMSOIL 20W-50 Motorcycle Oil is thermally (heat) stable and contains maximum levels of oxidation inhibitor additives. It is extremely resistant to breakdown and engineered to prevent damaging sludge and carbon deposits for superior engine cleanliness.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><strong>Provides Extreme Pressure Quality Protection for Gears and Chains<\/strong><br \/>\nWith AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oil, there is no need for separate transmission or primary chaincase lubricants. It is absolutely shear stable and will not thin out from mechanical activity. AMSOIL 20W-50 Motorcycle Oil performs like a gear lube without the negative effects of extreme-pressure additives. In the FZG gear test, AMSOIL achieved a perfect score with a \u201czero\u201d wear rating (see test photo).<\/p>\n<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"4\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\">\n<div align=\"center\"><strong>FZG Gear Test (ASTM D-5182)<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"bottom\">\n<div align=\"center\"><strong>Pass Example:<\/strong> AMSOIL MCV<br \/>\nPassed Stage 13, Total Wear 0 mm<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"bottom\">\n<div align=\"center\"><strong>Failure Example:<\/strong> Lucas High Performance<br \/>\nPassed Stage 11, Failed Stage 12,<br \/>\nTotal Wear in Stage 12, 160 mm<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amsoil.com\/graphs\/g2090_MCV_FZG.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.amsoil.com\/graphs\/g2090_MCV_FZG_sm.jpg\" alt=\"AMSOIL MCV\" width=\"290\" height=\"193\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amsoil.com\/graphs\/g2090_Lucas_FZG.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.amsoil.com\/graphs\/g2090_Lucas_FZG_sm.jpg\" alt=\"Lucas High Performance\" width=\"290\" height=\"193\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p align=\"left\"><strong>Delivers Superior Rust Protection<\/strong><br \/>\nMotorcycles are prone to rust from storage, humidity and short drives.

Unlike many motorcycle oils, AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oil contains special anti-rust agents.
